CHICAGO: Mantras be read on May 14 in Bonneville County Commissioners Board in Idaho Falls (Idaho); containing verses from world’s oldest extant scripture.
Rajan Zed will deliver the invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures in Bonneville County Commissioners Board. After Sanskrit delivery, he then will read the English interpretation of the prayers. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and the root language of Indo-European languages.
Zed is the President of Universal Society of Hinduism. He will recite from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He plans to start and end the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work.
Reciting from Bhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge county commissioners and others present to keep the welfare of others always in mind.
He has been panelist for “On Faith”, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post; and produces a weekly multi-faith panel “Faith Forum” in a Gannett publication for over 13 years.
Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.2 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.
Bonneville County was established in 1911.
